Content Creation with Some interactable Markups and Button for a Room
Hello , This is my first post ( I am a tyro 🙂 ) .I am recently buying a Meta Quest pro. I wanted to create a 3D AR VR content which I can put on cloud/web and can be accessed by people at different sites having Meta Quest Pro. Actually I have a shop with some products placed on it and I want to create a 360 view of each product and the gallery ( whole room in fact) and want to place some buttons or info buttons with which the user can interact at all the different sites. Please guide me how to move forward or if there is any example i can follow. Please move it to correct Board or associate correct TAG to it Thankyou ! Br, S
Virtual 3D world anchored to real-world landmarks
## Introduction In an era where immersive technologies have struggled to gain widespread adoption, we believe there is a compelling opportunity to rethink how users engage with digital content and applications. By anchoring a virtual world to the physical environment and seamlessly integrating 2D and 3D experiences, we could create a platform that offers enhanced productivity, intuitive interactions, and a thriving ecosystem of content and experiences. We build upon our previous vision for an AR virtual world by introducing an additional key capability - virtual identity augmentation. This feature allows users to curate and project their digital personas within the shared virtual environment, unlocking new dimensions of social interaction, self-expression, and the blending of physical and virtual realms. ## Key Concepts The core of our proposal revolves around an AR virtual world that is tightly integrated with the physical world, yet maintains its own distinct digital landscape. This environment would be anchored to specific real-world landmarks, such as the Pyramids of Giza, using a combination of GPS, AR frameworks, beacons, and ultra-wideband (UWB) technologies to ensure consistent and precise spatial mapping. Within this virtual world, users would be able to interact with a variety of 2D and 3D elements, including application icons, virtual objects, and portals to immersive experiences. As we previously described, the key differentiator lies in how these interactions are handled for 2D versus 3D devices: 1. **2D Interactions**: When a user with a 2D device (e.g., smartphone, tablet) interacts with a virtual application icon or object, it would trigger an animated "genie out of a bottle" effect, summoning a 2D window or screen that is locked to a fixed position in the user's view. 2. **3D Interactions**: For users with 3D devices (e.g., AR glasses, VR headsets), interacting with a virtual application icon or object would also trigger the "genie out of a bottle" effect, but instead of a 2D window, it would summon a 3D portal or window that the user can physically move around and even enter. ## Virtual Identity Augmentation One of the key new features we are proposing for the AR virtual world is the ability for users to place virtual objects, like hats, accessories, or digital avatars, on themselves. These virtual objects would be anchored to the user's position and movements, creating the illusion of the item being physically present. The critical distinction is that 2D users (e.g., on smartphones, tablets) would be able to see the virtual objects worn by other users in the shared virtual world, but they would not be able to place virtual objects on themselves. This capability would be reserved for 3D device users, who can leverage the spatial awareness and interaction capabilities required for virtual object placement. These virtual objects placed on a user would persist across devices and sessions, creating a consistent virtual identity or "avatar" for that user within the AR virtual world. This virtual identity would be visible to all other users, regardless of their device capabilities (2D or 3D). Importantly, the virtual objects used to create this virtual identity could also be leveraged to partially or completely obscure a user's real-world appearance from 2D video, photo, and 3D scanning. This would allow users to control how they are represented and perceived in the blended physical-virtual environment, providing greater privacy and security. ## Enhanced 2D Interfaces for 3D Users Building on our previous concept, we can further enhance the user experience for 2D applications, particularly for 3D users. By leveraging the depth and spatial characteristics of the 3D interface blocks, we can unlock new ways for users to interact with and manage their virtual applications and content. Some of the key capabilities include: 1. **Contextual Controls and Information Panels**: The sides of the 3D interface blocks could display shortcut controls, supplementary information panels, and other contextual elements that 3D users can access and interact with as they navigate around the application window. 2. **Dynamic Layouts and Customization**: 3D users would be able to resize, rotate, and reposition the side panels and controls, enabling personalized layouts and ergonomic arrangements tailored to their preferences and workflows. 3. **Multi-Dimensional Interactions**: The 3D interface blocks could support advanced interaction methods beyond basic clicking and scrolling, such as gestures (grabbing, pinching, swiping) and voice commands to interact with the contextual controls and information. 4. **Seamless Transition between 2D and 3D**: Despite these enhanced capabilities for 3D users, the 2D application windows would still function as regular 2D interfaces for users without 3D devices, maintaining a seamless collaborative experience across different device types. ## Potential Benefits and Use Cases The enhanced AR virtual world concept we propose offers several potential benefits and use cases: 1. **Increased Productivity and Ergonomics**: By providing 3D users with enhanced controls, contextual information, and customizable layouts, we can improve their efficiency and ergonomics when working with 2D applications. 2. **Intuitive Spatial Interactions**: The ability to physically move and interact with 3D portals and windows, as well as the option to place virtual objects on oneself, can lead to more natural and immersive ways of engaging with digital content and applications. 3. **Virtual Identity and Self-Expression**: The virtual identity augmentation system allows users to curate and project their digital personas, enabling new forms of social interaction, status signaling, and even monetization opportunities. 4. **Privacy and Security**: The option to obscure one's real-world appearance through virtual identity augmentation can provide users with greater control over their digital privacy, especially in public spaces. 5. **Collaborative Experiences**: The seamless integration of 2D and 3D interactions within the same virtual environment can enable users with different device capabilities to collaborate on tasks and projects. 6. **Extensibility and Customization**: Providing tools and APIs for developers to integrate their own applications and content into the virtual world can foster a thriving ecosystem of experiences. 7. **Anchored to the Real World**: Tying the virtual world to specific real-world landmarks can create a sense of spatial awareness and grounding, making the experience feel more meaningful and connected to the user's physical environment.

This vision not only offers enhanced productivity, intuitive interactions, and a thriving ecosystem, but also unlocks new dimensions of social interaction, self-expression, and the blending of physical and virtual realms. Creating a shift toward a 3D society, by including 2D phones. Leading to a new 3D app store. We invite you to explore this concept further and consider its potential impact on the future of computing and human-computer interaction. Together, we can shape a new era of spatial computing that bridges the gap between the physical and digital worlds.
Development of Metaverse Controller
I have developed a metaverse controller that simultaneously controls space computing devices like Quest and is compatible with controllers of all platforms, available in two types: portable and board. It features an innovative input method where touch confirms finger position and press executes functions, adapting virtual interfaces according to program requirements. With accuracy, versatility, and scalability, along with ergonomic design minimizing body movement, it will be the cornerstone of metaverse expansion, offering developers high productivity in virtual environments and users diverse content across platforms.

any documents for developing augments...?
I heard since v62, there comes augments! but I don't see any for now. I have many cool ideas that want to implement when it comes to live! ( hope I can use custom code so enrich it in many way like patching information from web with intended api etc...) when will it come to public release and there also come with document for dev? or is it already released but I'm the only one who don't find it? I just downloaded meta spark studio and player but it seems that it is only for Facebook and instagram not for meta quest augments...
